OK, then maybe change the commit log to:

	The SPI controller platform devices should be compiled in
	independent of the driver support, otherwise we might end up
	with dev-spi built as kernel module.

	So now every machine that has some SPI device should select
	S3C64XX_DEV_SPI.  Currently there is no such machine in mainline
	yet.

Best regards
Uwe
